Riley's Girl

Sam's Girl

-A couple of nights later - Sam's Perspective-

You gathered up the courage to finally track her down. She hadn't moved far from when you were in the army. She moved away from hers and Riley's house, which didn't surprise you but it was in the same neighbourhood that you said you always wanted to live. 

That did shock you.

You work up the courage to walk down the side of the house to the backgarden where you can hear someone working and rustling. In the darkness of the night, it was definitely unusual but this was also Y/N.

Except you weren't faced with Y/N. You were faced with an older gentlemen. Greying hair and stubble and wrinkles. 

But the same rings under his eyes, same insomnia and the same jumpiness you'd recognise in any vet. 

"Can I help you?" he asks abruptly and defensively. 

"My apologises sir. I'm looking for Y/N Y/L/N?" you ask gently and you watch immediately soften and a small smile spreads across his lips.

But it soon fades into confusion "She's gone son."

"Did she tell you where she was going?" you ask desperately. 

"No, no, sorry. I'm Isaiah, she just sold me the house. Cheap. Kind woman. Been my son's neighbour for years." He explains. It makes you smile, definitely sounded like Y/N. "I'm sorry I can't be more helpful. I hope you find her." he says sincerely.

You leave, feeling at a loss and do what you've been doing for weeks. You call her. Except this time you were going to leave her a message.

"Not surprised I got your voicemail Y/N. But I want you to know, you can move, hide, start over, but I won't stop looking for you." You take a breath "I let you go once, I ain't doing it again, you were always my girl and you always will be." 

"I love you Y/N" 

-Y/N's Perspective-

You're watching Sam breaking the news and breaking the world by announcing he's Captain America, sporting the suit you had the Wakandans make in exchange for Zemo. You were beaming with pride, you couldn't stop smiling. As you had his voicemail playing on loud speaker on repeat like you had since he left the voicemail... two weeks ago. 

But then the report focused on his speech which made you switch off his voicemail. 

"I might not be the blonde hair, blue eyed American you're all used to seeing, But I have fought tooth and nail to protect this country. Hell, the whole damn world, and I will continue to do so wearing this suit with pride." Sam says with such passion it fills your heart. 

"Plenty of people, Steve Rogers included believed I was capable of doing this. I didn't. Until now and I will do everything in my power to uphold everything this role stands for." he stops and stands up even straighter "It's time for a change in this country and I'm the very beginning." 

You were proud, full of love and you missed being that man's side. And right now, you didn't want to be anywhere else. But you and Sam never went easy on eachother, so why start now?

-Sam's Perspective-

You've just made your speech and are making your way through the crowd, you spot a sheepish Walker stood in the crowds, you give him a nod and see him ease and give you a smile.

"I mean if you ask me, the suit is a little snug, but I guess Y/N was being kind to not insult the weight you gained." Bucky comes up to you with an immediate joke, relaxing you a little.

You both chuckle and he looks at you sincerely "You did us all proud back there man." he taps you on the back, except it's on the shield. 

Then as you're about to go off with Bucky to start taking care of business, a man stops you. "Captain sir. We've received a message for you." you nod and he continues "a woman, she said: "I'm listening for the rustle. Come and find me Captain. Don't keep a girl waiting." that mean anything to you?" the man asks. 

You can't hold in your smile, your heart is racing, your palms are sweating, your head is racing but you couldn't be happier. "Yeah, yeah. That means everything to me. Thank you." 

You walk away and as you fly into the air you mutter to yourself "it's on Y/N." smiling like a crazy person. 

You fly off into the night sky, with one mission in mind and one mission only. 

Fly home to your girl. 

Finally.
